Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus will be presenting a program "Sex Signals: The good, the bad, and the ugly about dating" on Wednesday, Sept. 13, event at 1:30 p.m. in the Columbus Learning Center.

Sex Signals has become one of the most popular “safe dating” programs on college campuses through its unorthodox, humor-facilitated approach to examining our culture, sex, and prevention strategies such as bystander intervention.

Sex Signals is updated every six months to stay culturally relevant and regularly incorporates new teaching strategies based on best practices research from numerous fields of study.

A two-person team of educators takes the audience on an interactive, relevant, and often-hilarious exploration of the cultural messaging we receive about gender, sexuality, sexual health and intimate relationships. It examines what role culture and privilege play in justifying unhealthy and dangerous beliefs about what is acceptable social and sexual behavior.

This is all accomplished through facilitated dialogue and several semi-improvisational scenes, the final of which features a college student defending his buddy from a recent accusation of misconduct. This scene then leads to a focused discussion on the role we all play in stopping sexual violence. Additionally, it enables audiences to identify intervention strategies and positively change the way they think, communicate and act by encouraging bystander intervention in all aspects of their life.
